IDENTITY,Combination of pictorial art and animation to express the inner suffering of people

This project is a combination of pictorial art and animation to express the inner suffering of people who have special type of identity. Identity is a wide and unlimited topic which includes many categories such as immigrants, refugees, orphans, disabled people, homosexual people, etc. As a refugee and immigrant, I chose this category, expressing sorrow, tiredness, hope and failure and all contradictory feelings inside them to find their way in this complicated world.

GIF1: The suffering to say I am here do not ignore my existence, the chronic problem for refugees and immigrants that their situation is clear enough for the whole world but no steps have been taken to solve the problem.

GIF2: Identity is a burden, explaining my situation all the time to the others who don’t know anything about my case is making such weird sense. I am not only different but my case is not well known to the others.

GIF3: This isolated island (me) is searching for a land it can belong to. Until this happens the situation is pending. The pigeon (the inner peace) is hesitating to land to this unknown island.

GIF4: Immigration is so costly for humans.

GIF5: Irritation and overthinking; how to change the situation.

GIF6: Dream of flying to get rid of all procedures and barriers. Give me my freedom of movement.

GIF7: Prisoned in my identity.

GIF8: Loneliness and tired of being different all the time.

GIF9: Waiting for the change to break this frozen situation.

GIF10: Time is frozen, time heals for those who wait.

GIF11: ( WHICH IS THE COVER OF MY WORK, I cann’t upload it because the maximum files are 10) Suffering in silence makes me quiet more than usual. Quiet people are forgettable!
